I'm in the process of updating the profile. I think I might have gone about this whole thing wrong.

Ya think?  LOL.

You made an assumption thinking that people were going to have assumptions about you.  There's no need to open a discussion with a chip on your shoulder about your age.  It tends not to go very well.  That's one of those 'deal with it if it comes up' areas.

As for TNG I might need some help getting pointed in a good direction...maybe looking into it on Fetlife as well since they are widely group based. for now

-Ciao and thanks.


Have you contacted your local munch group to see if there is a TNG in your area?  That would be where I would start.




OwnedFreedom -> RE: New to this (8/25/2010 4:05:23 PM)

Thanks guys, Profile is updated..At a suggestion I'm going to get rid of the "test at the end.." Any one feel free to add me. Always in looking for new friends at the least. Thanks for all the comments and hopefully this will lead to the right path to start on...if there is a path. If not then I guess its a wide open world to explore :)

Welcome to the boards. :) I hope you find what you seek. This place has been very informative to me.




SubPet715 -> RE: New to this (8/26/2010 1:29:19 AM)

Wow, I must say much kinder than any sort of forum I have been on, this is very encouraging. I'm often treated the same way because I am young (24) but I let personal actions and my sincerity shine through whatever qualms others may have about me. With that being said I would love it if I was critiqued in the same fashion, if this seems like i'm piggybacking on a thread I apologize I just don't want to make a new one because the rules state no more than one type of thread.




ScaryJello -> RE: New to this (8/26/2010 5:55:32 AM)

Don't apologize right off the bat. It is a sign of weakness.




VaguelyCurious -> RE: New to this (8/26/2010 6:21:58 AM)

SubPet,

I just read your profile-you're a sweetie [:)]

A couple of relatively minor things: I'd take out the first paragraph reference to most women 'playing a role'-it sounds snarky and jaded and women don't really want to hear you saying bad things about other women (if you talk about other women at all-we're a pretty self centred bunch :P).

Also in the first paragraph you've written 'she is take charge', which I think is a typing error.

I'd get rid of the bit about hoping you don't sound demanding-you're drawing unnecessary attention to something that might be perceived as negative. It didn't occur to me to think of the previous paragraph as demanding until you mentioned it :P

You say you're always smiling and laughing-maybe try and inject a sense of that into the profile? Be funny, be warm-it's a little serious as it is. In my experience people who are constantly laughing don't need to tell you so, because you can hear it in their writing.

I'd maybe cut down/condense the paragraphs on what you can offer, because that discussion can always come later. I've found that a shorter, punchier profile works better than a long, detailed one-if you give the sense that you've already planned the relationship before you've met the woman then it can make people feel uneasy. Does that make sense?

Lastly, your punctuation is a bit random; there are commas where there should be other types of punctuation in several places, and you've missed out the odd apostrophe, capital letter etc. You'd benefit from a more careful readthrough.

But all in all it was good, IMO-these are all minor points.

[:)]

My experience is that it is a WHEN it comes up not IF it comes up.




ScaryJello -> RE: New to this (8/26/2010 6:25:49 AM)

Also "I think about things to much." It should be "too much."

Welcome. My best advice, having started this whole thing much younger than you, would be to read as much as possible about the topic, go out to munches and groups and most of all, find a hot older woman who is really into you to explore with.

Oh, and I don't think there is a path, per se. It is more of a winding, twisting, turning road. It is how you handle the roadblocks that makes you who you are.





ScaryJello -> RE: New to this (8/26/2010 6:32:40 AM)

Hey red, wanna go exploring. :-D

Sure. As long as you are not too scary. :)

*Takes notes*




OwnedFreedom, I offer you the following good advice that I've heard alot: "Focus on being in control of your own life, before you ask someone to let you have control of them."

Come up with the answer in your head for the following question: "Why should I trust you with my well-being?"

Oddly enough, I got a very different impression of your welcome on the forums.  I thought you were very well received and didn't see a mention of your age at all.  Maybe I should have paid closer attention.




SubPet715 -> RE: New to this (8/26/2010 8:21:09 AM)

Thank you very much that is what I was looking for ^_^
I'm not too good with things like punctuation so i'll see about having a friend help me with that sort of thing.
As for the tone, I will need to work on that as i'm used to using emoticons to show i'm joking as i'm often misinterpreted online <_<

But again thank you very much.




OwnedFreedom -> RE: New to this (8/26/2010 9:11:24 AM)

Hmm full re-edit..looks like I need to edit some more? or was that for some one else? Either way thanks again for the tips. To the guy who said apology is a sign of weakness. I feel it is not weak to be considerate. However I will take those words to heart, Any shred of help is better then no help at all. Problem is I'm usually a loner so me asking for help is like asking mercy of the devil. That applies at school, here in the realms of sinful pleasure and pain I find its much better to ask and be sure then to do something foolish and pay for it there after. Again feel free to add me and I will also take into consideration finding some one slightly older and more experienced to "Explore" with.
